A MAN HAS been arrested in the Jobstown area of south-west Dublin after an early-morning chase involving several garda units.

An SUV was reported stolen in the Tallaght area at around 5am.

It was later spotted nearby, on the M50 – and local garda units gave chase, following the car at speed throughout the area.

There were no collisions, and no-one was harmed.

The car was eventually stopped, and the man apprehended before 7am, a garda spokesperson confirmed.

He’s been taken to Tallaght Garda Station for questioning.

Footage posted online this morning showed garda cars giving chase to an SUV-type vehicle, across green areas in a housing estate.

    Nice house and good location. Maybe looking for too much money. It will be interesting to see how much it will sell for

    Kind of a Dick Moran from Glenroe vibe about this place. One and a half mil is pretty outrageous.
